    This lovely plant grows to about 7-8 feet tall in my backyard. We just bought our house last year and are trying to figure out what is here. This one stumps me. I want to keep it and take care of it..It has been sadly neglected (I think). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Probably a Mock-orange Philadelphus, but hard to be certain with the blurred pic!

    Definitely a Philadelphus. These are very commonly sold and planted.
